The case of the pressure cooker!

Image
Today I read the a little paragraph in the  book " Steps to Christ"   Through the right exercise of the will, an entire change may be made in your life. By yielding up your will to Christ, you ally yourself with the power that is above all principalities and powers. You will have strength from above to hold you steadfast, and thus through constant surrender to God you will be enabled to live the new life, even the life of faith. ( Steps to Christ, page 47, Ellen White) A verse  came to my mind: " Teach me to do thy will, for thou art my God.." Our  guests now our family!! They adopted my Luke as their son in Christ and I'm so happy because now the children have two grandpas or two "nônos" and they gave a pressure cooker for me but its not working properly and I'm really afraid of pressure cookers!! Cooking beans takes more than 2 hours if not cooked on a pressure cooker pan and like a real Brazilian I love rice and beans! It's a shame we haven&

Ignorance may seek to support false views of God by appeals to science; but the book of nature and the written Word do not disagree; each sheds light on the other. Rightly understood, they make us acquainted with God and His character by teaching us something of the wise and beneficent laws through which He works( ST March 20, 1884 Ellen White) The Lord has given all the brilliancy of intellect that man possesses, and it should be devoted to His service( RH March 1, 1898 Ellen White)  For breakfast after our norma

"Because thou hast been my HELP, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice."( Psalm 63:7) Today I read my bible in Exodus 20:1-17; I started in some other verse probably the 19th because today is the nineteen of month 6... And bible concordance brought me to read Exodus and I found this commentary about it: Father by side of Son in giving Law- When the law was spoken, The Lord, the Creator of heaven and earth, stood by the side of His Son, enshrouded in the fire and the smoke on the mount. It was not here that the law was first given; but it was proclaimed, that the children of Israel, whose ideas had become confused in their association with idolaters in Egypt, might be reminded of its terms, and understand what constitutes the true worship of Jehovah( ST= Signs of the Times; October 15, 1896, Ellen White) So wow and then I continued on reading and found: " The law of God existed before man was created. It was adapted to the condition of holy bei
